It's already starting... 127 Yard Sale's 30th event officially runs August 3-6th

The world famous 127 Yard Sale is coming up soon though early dealers are already setting up in some locations.  Local Residents either love the bargains or hate the traffic after the 30 years years the sale has been held.

Many local businesses along the route rent space to sellers from 

other locations during the sale.

The yard sale covers 690 miles from Addison Michigan to Gadsen Alabama and started 30 years ago in 1987 based out of Jamestown in Fentress County Tennessee.

PARK PLACE MOTORS!

Right on Highway 127 at I-40

in Crossville.

Traffic will be heavy along the route and drivers are encouraged to give themselves extra time to travel along 127 during the sale.  Traffic gets congested and with people parking along the shoulder even though that is not legal, it can make it very difficult emergency vehicles trying to respond.

Above and below are

some early vendors set up at East Ln near 

Homestead.

Wreck at Walmart Traffic Light flips one.

A two vehicle wreck in front of Walmart involved 2 pickup trucks with one ending up on its side after the collision.  While numerous emergency personnel responded to the scene and the occupants were shaken up, all appeared to refuse transport to the ER following the wreck.   One occupant was in the red flipped truck and three appeared to have been in the white truck including a small child. 

Crossville fire chief Mike Turner commented that the city seemed to be having a lot of what he called "catastrophic" vehicle accidents lately that could possibly be blamed on drivers not heeding traffic lights.
